Tasha

Description

Meet Tasha! ❤️🐾 Tasha is an adorable, approximately 16-18-month-old female Rottweiler/Doberman mix--or at least that&#39s what her previous owners believed. We haven&#39t done DNA testing, but based on her looks and personality, her foster family thinks she may have a little Lab mixed in there, too! Tasha is a smart, fun-loving, high-energy girl who has absolutely blossomed in foster care. She is currently enrolled in professional training at WiggleButt and is eager to learn--especially when treats are involved! 😋 Before coming into rescue, Tasha lived in an apartment and was left alone quite a bit. Her owners ultimately had to surrender her because of affordability and changes in their circumstances. Since coming into foster, she has discovered just how wonderful life can be! 💕 What Tasha Loves: 🐾 PEOPLE! She loves being with her humans and is incredibly affectionate. 🐾 Kids & dogs! She has done wonderfully with children and other dogs. She especially LOVES to play and will happily wear herself out playing with her doggie friends. 🐾 Water! Tasha is a certified water fiend. Puddle? YES. Lake? YES. Pool? ABSOLUTELY. Kiddie pool? She&#39s in! 😂💦 🐾 Toys & tug-of-war! She loves playing with toys and especially enjoys a good game of tug with her humans or canine friends. 🐾 Being outside! She enjoys backyard play and does well on leash walks. She is still working on her impulse control and may lunge toward exciting distractions like squirrels, but her foster family is working with her on this. 🐾 Cuddling! Tasha loves being close to her people and has no problem claiming the couch, chair, or bed as her own. If allowed in bed, she may even try to convince her human to scoot over so she can stretch out! 😂 At bedtime, she settles in and typically stays put until her people start moving in the morning. If she can&#39t sleep in the big bed, she will happily settle on her own dog bed--as long as it&#39s right beside her people. ❤️ 🏡 A Few Things Her Future Family Should Know: Tasha is not cat-friendly, so she needs a home without cats. She is comfortable in a kennel and will go in when asked, although it isn&#39t her favorite place. She has not shown destructive behavior when free-roaming in the house. When kenneled or left alone, she may bark for about 15 minutes before settling down. A good toy helps keep her occupied. Tasha is a confident, intelligent girl who likes to test boundaries, so she will do best with someone who is consistent, patient, and willing to continue her training. She responds very well to positive reinforcement and food rewards. She is a medium-to-high-energy dog who would be an excellent match for an active person or family who wants a dog to play with, explore with, train with, and--of course--cuddle with afterward. 🥰 Tasha would especially love a home with another playful, dog-friendly dog who can help keep her entertained. She is sweet, silly, affectionate, energetic, smart, and full of personality. She&#39s ready for a family who will give her the structure, activity, training, and love she deserves. ❤️ Tasha is ready to find her forever family! 🐾🏡 The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment).
